RESUMOO estabelecimento de uma espécie exótica invasora como Cryptostegia madagascariensis Bojer ex Decne. na maioria das vezes causa modificações desfavoráveis ao meio ambiente, alterando as características da vegetação e causam o desaparecimento de espécies nativas de diferentes hábitos de crescimento. Objetivou-se investigar a influência da invasão por Cryptostegia madagascariensis sobre a diversidade do banco de sementes do solo em um remanescente de caatinga, localizado no município de Ibaretama, estado do Ceará, Brasil. O ambiente de estudo foi estratificado em duas áreas: Ambiente I -Área Não Invadida (remanescente de caatinga relativamente bem conservado); e Ambiente II -Área Invadida (caracterizada por apresentar presença expressiva de Cryptostegia madagascariensis). Foram coletadas, aleatoriamente, 50 amostras de solo em cada área alocada. Avaliou-se a composição florística, a diversidade e a estrutura do banco de sementes do solo. Registrou-se durante todo o estudo a germinação de 5.930 indivíduos, distribuídos em um total de 18 famílias, 46 gêneros e 71 espécies. A diversidade foi de 3,22 e 2,54 para os Ambientes I e II, respectivamente. A menor diversidade observada para o Ambiente II evidencia que a presença expressiva de Cryptostegia madagascariensis tende a reduzir a riqueza florística específica do banco de sementes do solo.

ABSTRACTThe establishment of invader exotic species such as Cryptostegia madagascariensis Bojer ex Decne. often causes adversative changes for the environment, which may change the vegetation characteristics through the disappearance of native species of different growing habits. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the invasion by Cryptostegia madagascariensis on diversity the soil seed bank in a remnant of Caatinga, in Ibaretama municipality, Ceará, Brazil. The ambient was divided in two areas: Not Invaded Area -Ambient I (remaining of Caatinga well conserved relatively); and Invaded AreaAmbient II (characterized by having significant invasion of Cryptostegia madagascariensis). It was collected 50 soil samples, randomly, at each allocated area. We evaluated the floristic composition, diversity and vegetation structure. Germination was recorded thru the study of 5.930 individuals, distributed in a total of 18 families, 46 genres and 71 species. The diversity for Noninvaded and invaded areas was 3.22 and 2.54, respectively. The lowest diversity observed for the Invaded Area shows that the significant presence of Cryptostegia madagascariensis tends to reduce the specific floristic composition of the soil seed bank of invaded area.
